My kids

I wanted to share this with everyone....Just when you think kids in America are all a bunch of spoiled kids, something happens to change your opinions.

Earlier today the mailman brought the mail, and my youngest went to get it. He came back, and handed it all to me, except for one letter.
I assumed it was for him.

An hour later, both of my boys asked me to either write them a check, or show them how to get a money order.

My first thought was, they want to buy some more games or something. When I asked what they wanted it for, Sean, the youngest held up a card from the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

They had both pooled all of their money from their rooms and wanted to donate it.

Zack, said. "Mom, did you know there are lots of kids out there who don't get any dinner every night? Sometimes they don't get any breakfast either!"

He was appalled at this concept. Between the both of them, they had almost $45.00.

I wrote them the check.

I'm so proud of them. :-)

Had a little accident today....

This morning, I had to be at work at 8am. No big deal. After the meeting, I was on my way home, when it suddendly started to rain so hard, I couldn't see. So I started to slow down on the highway.......

Well, it seems the semi behind me had sorta the same idea. Just as I slowed down, he changed lanes....Right into mine.

He caught me in the rear left bumper and hit me with just enough force to spin me around in 2 complete 360 degree turns, across 2 lanes of moving traffic, and into a small ditch.

Well, after I got my bearings, I got out of my car, and looked at my new car.

After all that, I only had one small scuff mark about an inch long on the bumper.

Damn, am I lucky or what?!?

The cop who arrived on the scene helped the semi driver push my car out of the dirt and back onto the highway. He then walks around my car twice, and finally asks:

"Lady, where exactly did he hit you?" After I showed him, he said, "Well, I know what my next car is gonna be!!"

Whoo....what a day.
